This is a picture of a 27" x 39" undated Egyptian rerelease poster
designed by an unknown artist to promote the 1963 Hassan Al Imam
108-minute color film Shafiqa the Copt [shafi'a al-'ebtia]
starring Hind Rostom as Shafiqa based on a story by Galil Al-Badrawy
with screenplay and dialogue by Mohamed Mustafa Samy and
cinematography by Abdelhalim Nasr. Plot summary: This biographical
film portrays the life of Shafiqa the Copt, the most famous Egyptian
dancer of the early 20th century, with Hind Rostom in the role of
Shafiqa. Plot summary: Shafiqa was obliged to leave her only son in
the care of her mother, who had banished Shafiqa from the home in
deference to the demands of Shafiqa's conservative father. Although
Shafiqa had a vast fortune and some of her best friends were important
men in the government, the father did not permit her to see her son.
Aziz grew up, came into his prime and fell in love with Soad, the
daughter of Prime Minister Asad Pasha, who at the time was himself
known as the greatest lover in his government. Shafiqa formed a
relationship with her son later. She invited him many times to her
home without telling him she was his mother or that she was a famous
dancer. In the presence of his daughter, Asad Pasha was indifferent
to Aziz when he asked for her hand, but in turn the minister was
indifferent to his wife because of Shafiqa's influence. He then
ordered Aziz imprisoned and abandoned the dancer. Shafiqa's maid
Bahia became the minister's consort after the theft of the assets of
her mistress. Soad abandoned the life of the world, entered a convent
and refused to marry Aziz after his escape from prison. Finally as
she was dying in his arms, Aziz realized Shafiqa was his mother.
